Companionship wanted: Michael's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Birmingham to visit Michael once a week.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,245 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Michael, who's 87. Michael lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Michael loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Thank you for reading my story.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. All the best
